SEWAGE DISCHARGES FROM SHIPS TRANSITING COASTAL SALT WATERS1

ABSTRACT: A number of aspects of the discharging of non-oily wastewaters by transiting ships are treated in this overview paper. In the introduction, options to discharging (the use of holding tank, on board treatment) and the impact of changing regulations are discussed. Assessment of the effects of sewage discharges on coastal waters required that data, at first not available, be generated. An account is given of the characterization of Navy shipboard wastewaters and of experiments involving sewage discharges at sea, measurements of water quality before, during and after an amphibious operation, and fore and aft of transitting Navy ships. A better understanding of sewage dilution after discharge led to the verification of a method for controlled discharging of sewage (and other wastewaters). This method permits limiting the coliform bacteria count in the ship's wake to values below acceptable limits. The final sections contain information on long range effects of ships’sewage discharges, obtained in studies by the U.S. Navy and others, as well as public health considerations.     

Chemical characterization and source apportionment of PM1 and PM2.5 in Tianjin, China: Impacts of biomass burning and primary biogenic sources

The submicron particulate matter (PM₁) and fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) are very important due to their greater adverse impacts on the natural environment and human health. In this study, the daily PM₁ and PM_2.5 samples were collected during early summer 2018 at a sub-urban site in the urban-industrial port city of Tianjin, China. The collected samples were analyzed for the carbonaceous fractions, inorganic ions, elemental species, and specific marker sugar species. The chemical characterization of PM₁ and PM_2.5 was based on their concentrations, compositions, and characteristic ratios (PM₁/PM_2.5, AE/CE, NO₃^?/SO₄^2?, OC/EC, SOC/OC, OM/TCA, K+/EC, levoglucosan/K⁺, V/Cu, and V/Ni). The average concentrations of PM₁ and PM_2.5 were 32.4 µg/m³ and 53.3 µg/m³, and PM₁ constituted 63% of PM_2.5 on average. The source apportionment of PM₁ and PM_2.5 by positive matrix factorization (PMF) model indicated the main sources of secondary aerosols (25% and 34%), biomass burning (17% and 20%), traffic emission (20% and 14%), and coal combustion (17% and 14%). The biomass burning factor involved agricultural fertilization and waste incineration. The biomass burning and primary biogenic contributions were determined by specific marker sugar species. The anthropogenic sources (combustion, secondary particle formation, etc) contributed significantly to PM₁ and PM_2.5, and the natural sources were more evident in PM_2.5. This work significantly contributes to the chemical characterization and source apportionment of PM₁ and PM_2.5 in near-port cities influenced by the diverse sources.     

KMnO4-PAC对高原喀斯特湖库DOM的DBPsFP控制

以云贵高原典型喀斯特湖库红枫湖取水口溶解性有机质（DOM）为研究对象,调查不同组合方式下高锰酸钾-聚合氯化铝（KMnO₄-PAC）对消毒副产物的生成潜能（DBPsFP）变化和平均组成分布,并通过红外光谱（FTIR）和三维荧光光谱（3D-EEM）对部分样品进行化学表征,推断其影响机制.结果表明：在0.1,0.2,0.4mg/L KMnO₄投加量下,DBPsFP降低17.5~73%,DOM的卤代活性化学结构和官能团部分被有效钝化;PAC的网捕和卷扫效应使DBPsFP进一步减少27.9~86.1%,组合工艺对DBPs的生成潜能影响大小为：三卤甲烷（THM₄） > 卤乙酸（HAA₉） > 卤乙腈（HAN₄）/卤代酮（HK₂）/三氯硝基甲烷（TCNM）.FTIR的结果表明预氧化后3300cm^-1处的透过率降低,指纹区1000~1300cm^-1处的峰频提升,表明分子中的O-H、COOH和C-O官能团增加,共轭不饱和结构在KMnO₄作用下部分消失.3D-EEM验证了外源有机物（腐殖酸）在DOM中占比随KMnO₄浓度梯度升高而下降,同时类蛋白结构的吸收峰强度增加,说明最终DBPs贡献可能源于DOM中剩余的小分子类蛋白（氨基酸）.

为了研究白洋淀沉积物中有机质释放对秋冬交替季节淀区水环境的影响.将白洋淀分为自然保护区、旅游区、村落密集区、淀中村区和出淀口区五部分,在20个代表性采样点采集沉积物样品,采用光谱学方法表征样品中有机质特性,并研究氮、磷的溶解释放特征.结果表明:①在自然保护区、淀中村区和出淀口区,沉积物中有机质的腐殖化和芳香化程度较高,主要为陆源可见光类腐殖酸组分（C1）、海源可见光类腐殖酸组分（C3）和紫外光类腐殖酸组分（C4）;而在旅游区和村落密集区,有机质的腐殖化和芳香化程度较低,主要为类色氨酸组分（C2）,表明这些区域受人为活动影响大.②紫外吸收光谱和荧光光谱参数具有很好的相关性,可用于表征沉积物中有机质特征;类色氨酸组分的荧光强度与沉积物中w（TN）和w（TP）具有良好的正相关关系,显示出同源性特征.③与以类腐殖酸为主要成分的沉积物样品相比,氮、磷更易从以类蛋白为主要成分的沉积物中释放.研究显示,秋冬交替季节白洋淀沉积物中有机质以类蛋白和类腐殖酸为主,且类蛋白具有促进共存氮、磷溶解释放的作用.      

Chemical characterization and source apportionment of atmospheric submicron particles on the western coast of Taiwan Strait, China

Taiwan Strait is a special channel for subtropical East Asian Monsoon and its western coast is an important economic zone in China. In this study, a suburban site in the city of Xiamen on the western coast of Taiwan Strait was selected for fine aerosol study to improve the understanding of air pollution sources in this region. An Aerodyne high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer(HR-To F-AMS) and an Aethalometer were deployed to measure fine aerosol composition with a time resolution of 5 min from May 1to 18, 2015. The average mass concentration of PM1 was 46.2 ± 26.3 μg/m~3 for the entire campaign. Organics(28.3%), sulfate(24.9%), and nitrate(20.6%) were the major components in the fine particles, followed by ammonium, black carbon(BC), and chloride. Evolution of nitrate concentration and size distribution indicated that local NOx emissions played a key role in high fine particle pollution in Xiamen. In addition, organic nitrate was found to account for 9.0%–13.8% of the total measured nitrate. Positive Matrix Factorization(PMF)conducted with high-resolution organic mass spectra dataset differentiated the organic aerosol into three components, including a hydrocarbon-like organic aerosol(HOA) and two oxygenated organic aerosols(SV-OOA and LV-OOA), which on average accounted for 27.6%,28.8%, and 43.6% of the total organic mass, respectively. The relationship between the mass concentration of submicron particle species and wind further confirmed that all major fine particle species were influenced by both strong local emissions in the southeastern area of Xiamen and regional transport through the Taiwan Strait.     

鸟粪石分析与表征技术综述

对X射线衍射（XRD）、傅里叶红外光谱（FT—IR）和拉曼光谱（Ralnan）、热分析（TGA）及化学分析法等技术用于分析和表征鸟粪石的最新研究进展进行了综述。表明X射线衍射、傅里叶红外光谱和拉曼光谱等能定性判断所得沉淀中是否含有鸟粪石,而难以定量分析鸟粪石含量。通过元素分析以及由此而建立的鸟粪石含量计算方法可以定量确定沉淀中鸟粪石的含量。热分析能提供热性能信息从而为所得沉淀的干燥处理过程提供有用的依据。

外绝缘用液体硅橡胶老化现象的微观表征

本文针对近年来出现在一些变电站SF6电压、电流互感器的液体硅橡胶绝缘护套出现龟裂老化这一现象,对发生老化的硅橡胶材料进行了性能测试和试验,并利用红外光谱分析、XPS分析、热失重等手段分析了其微观结构和物质组成的变化。研究发现老化后的液体硅橡胶中Si-C、Si-O官能团和Si、C、O元素的相对含量发生了变化,且随着老化程度的增加呈现出较为明显的规律,老化越严重,Si-C键含量越少,C元素的含量越少,O元素含量越多。本文认为,用官能团含量、元素相对含量可以准确地表征液体硅橡胶材料的老化程度。通过对不同老化程度的液体硅橡胶进行的憎水性、耐漏电起痕性能的试验也证实了本文的观点。     

Metal associations in anoxic sediments and changes following upland disposal†

The ecological effects of heavy metals in contaminated sediments are more determined by the chemical form and reactivity than by the level of accumulation. Dredging of anoxic sediments and disposal on land is attended by changes of redox conditions. Under oxidizing conditions some controlling solid compounds may change gradually thus changing the solubility of certain metals.

Chemical extraction experiments for estimating characteristic association forms of heavy metals in anoxic sediments were carried out, both under presence and absence of air during the analytical procedure. Drying of the sediment decreases the proportion of the sulfidic metal fractions to a stronger degree, and oxidized Cd and Zn are found in the most available, exchangeable fraction.

With respect to long‐term effects acidification of poorly buffered sludges after disposal on land is probably the most important factor affecting metal associations and mobility. For many metal examples a linear relationship has been found between decreasing pH values and increasing dissolved metal concentrations. To quantify these relationships and for better comparison of samples a simple test procedure is proposed which is based on pH differences before and after addition of acid.
